Officers were called to the scene and say they found a woman, later identified as Miah Dozier, 20, walking inside the center hallway of the school. Police say they approached Dozier and asked why she was inside the building. Dozier allegedly admitted to police that she broke into the school to look for money. Dozier used a plastic milk crate to break out a rear window of the building, according to investigators.
